Cloudy Water! Help!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
As for the water clarifier, I agree, I wouldn't try any until the tank cycles again and is much clearer on its own, this will just mask the problem, but after the fact it can be a nice addition to make the tank crystal clear on water change days.

Prime is something most mfk'ers would consider next to essential for aquarium keeping. Use the recommended dosage every water change to make your tap is water safe. You may already have another brand of water conditioner but it seems to me on the site that prime is the universal preference.

Stability, as was mentioned above, will help speed up the growth of new bacteria to get the tank back in track sooner.

Test kits are also very important as you cannot know how to fix any problem that may come up without knowing the actual cause. Well worth the investment and they last a long time.

Out of curiosity, which method did you use to cycle your tank? If you were using ammonia how much were you adding? It could be that the stock is producing a higher level of ammonia then you were using to cycle.

Thanks you so much for the prompt reply guys, really appreciate the support. Will definitely get the water tested or will purchase the kits and test it myself. Yes i've put double air stones on high and the pump level on high too. HamLuke, you mentioned bacterial bloom? This sounds bad doesn't it?
 
Bacteria blooms just means your little eco system is out of sync and its fixing itself. Just wait it out its perfectly natural
 
Thank yo so much for the replies guys, really helps. Woke up today, water seems much clearer then 2 days before. *Fingers crossed* hope it gets more clear in time.

Thanks loads for the help guys. Really appreciate it.
